The Mazda3 has charmed drivers with its unbeatable combination of elegant design, exceptional practicality, and capable performance. Along with offering a sporty alternative look, its available hatchback body style is slightly shorter than the sedan and replaces the trunk with a cargo area behind the rear seating. This is your guide to the 2024 Mazda3 Hatchback!
Engaging Powertrain Options
Cast from a lightweight, yet durable aluminum alloy, the Mazda3 Hatchback’s standard 2.5L Skyactiv-G inline-4 produces a total of 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. It features an advanced direct fuel injection system and cylinder deactivation, which shuts down two of the engine cylinders when the extra power isn’t needed for improved fuel efficiency at up to 35 MPG highway.
Turbocharging for the engine is available and can increase performance to a hefty 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque, enabling an impressive 0 to 60 time of 5.6 seconds. Power is distributed through either a 6-speed automatic transmission with sport mode or a 6-speed manual. Mazda’s confidence-inspiring i-Activ AWD comes standard on trims equipped with the turbo engine and the particularly racy Carbon Edition model.
Fun-Loving Chassis
The Mazda3 Hatchback’s low curb weight of less than 3,400 pounds is complemented by its expertly tuned chassis. The car feels incredibly nimble and stable in the corners thanks to its independent MacPherson strut front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension. 4-wheel anti-lock brakes combine with braking assist and electronic brakeforce distribution systems to provide excellent stopping power.
Premium Interior
Like the Mazda3 Sedan, the hatchback variant offers a beautifully designed cabin featuring simple controls, an abundance of high-quality materials, and plenty of standard and available amenities. Seating for passengers is similarly spacious with 42.3 inches of front legroom and up to 35.1 inches of rear legroom. Behind the 60/40 split-folding rear seats, you’ll find 20.1 cubic feet of cargo space.
Dual-zone automatic climate control, plush leatherette upholstery, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel all come standard on the base model. Other trims add 8-way power adjustability and lumbar support for the driver, heated seats, and a wireless charging station. Perforated leather upholstery is exclusive on the Turbo Premium Plus.
Fully Loaded Infotainment System
Most trims get an 8.8-inch infotainment display granting access to smartphone integration, Bluetooth hands-free calls, and support for Pandora internet radio. Carbon Turbo and Turbo Premium Plus models feature a larger 10.25-inch screen. Both systems recognize voice commands and allow you to navigate through its menus through an intuitive control knob located on the center console.
Audiophiles will appreciate the option of a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system with immersive Centerpoint technology and AudioPilot noise cancellation.
